Czech Phil Media, or Dvořák Hall on Every Display

The brand covers the recording, distribution and related communication activities of the Czech Philharmonic. In the current phase of the project, it is mainly concerned with the operation of the new audiovisual recording studio in the Rudolfinum’s Dvořák Hall, sound and visual recordings production and their distribution to audiences in the Czech Republic and abroad. Recorded and, in some cases, broadcast live are the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra concerts whose dramaturgy appeals to the first Czech orchestra fans around the world, with the main role among the performing artists played by the chief conductor Semyon Bychkov and the two main guest conductors, Jakub Hrůša and Tomáš Netopil. In addition, recordings of educational programs for all ages as well as a variety of accompanying materials–interviews with the artists, behind-the-scenes videos and clips from international tours–are being produced. The goal of this project is to bring music and life of the first Czech orchestra to listeners not physically present in the Dvořák Hall of Rudolfinum, in the highest possible quality which, in all respects, meets the demands of modern times.

And How Does the Concert Make It to the Screen?

Concerts and recordings not only need to be filmed and carefully post-produced, respectively, but also delivered to an audience, to the platforms they prefer to use. In the Czech Republic, the orchestra's long-standing partner in this endeavor is the Czech Television which regularly includes the first national orchestra music in its broadcasts.

For the international area, the Czech Philharmonic has teamed up with the global in the distribution of classical music sound and video recordings: the German EuroArts company that distributes Czech Philharmonic content to TV screens and internet platforms worldwide. Selected concerts are also broadcast live.
